*I think that after going for three years to challenging destinations, most people will agree it'd be nice to try a central, easy and popular place in Europe.*A lot of energy is spent discussing the destination. Having the destination set more than one year in advance allows to concentrate on other issue, given the limited volunteer-hours we dispose of.*In the previous installments, we only have a consensus on the destination a few month before the Couchsurfing activity/event, leading to many shortcomings in the organisation.*Democracy sucks --thing: [[Userhttp:Sitarane//www.mp|Sitaranecouchsurfing.mp]org/activity/view/9LTUGU/hitchgathering-2012 Hitchgathering 2012]
